Police want to speak to these two men in connection with a robbery in Pangbourne in which a woman was threatened with a knife.

Sometime between noon and 1pm on Tuesday, August 3, the 21-year-old woman was walking home from Pangbourne along the A329 towards Basildon Park when three men – believed to speak with a French accent – approached her.

One of them was carrying a lock knife and demanded she crossed the road before she was taken down a dirt track to open woodland where the trio raided her belongings. They hit her over the head with an unknown and she fell to the ground before blacking out. When she came round the men had disappeared and her cash and jewellery were missing.

One of the men police want to trace is black, around 5ft 7in, of broad build, with big dark eyes, a large nose and in his late teens to early 20s. He is also described as having black, medium length hair in cornrows with beads on the end.

The second man is described as black, around 5ft 7in and young looking, while the third is said to be black, 4ft 11in, young, slim and with a shaved head at the side in a circular pattern and hair in cornrows.

Anyone with any information should contact Newbury CID on 08458 505 505 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
